As it is a USB 1, the FireWire may transfer data quicker. I managed to mount the HDD via the USB port, but cannot make it by the FireWire. Any suggestions of how to do it? Also, how could I format one of the partitions I created with it without waiting days, I tried and it was far too slow. Thanks in advance asaba
